Antalyaspor vs Galatasaray Prediction
This is expected to be a close contest, with Galatasaray looking to ensure that they maintain their record of a top-10 finish in every single Turkish SuperLig campaign to date. However, things are not expected to be easy as they face an in-form Antalyaspor on Friday.
